    摘要: In described embodiments, a Serializer-Deserializer (SerDes) receiver includes a pattern detector that allows for detection of insufficiently randomized pattern periods and low activity periods. A freeze of equalization adaptation during these periods might occur by embedding disqualifying patterns into adaptation data. Some embodiments also allow for detection of long intervals of freeze, and so delay a freeze de-assertion in order for a clock and data recovery (CDR) circuit of the receiver to regain lock to the serial data. Embedding freeze information in the receive data allows for precise synchronization of receive data and freeze.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for generating one or more clock signals for a decision-feedback equalizer using DFE detected data, in the presence of an adverse pattern, such as a Nyquist pattern. A received signal is sampled using a data clock and a transition clock to generate a data sample signal and a transition sample signal. A DFE correction is obtained for each of the data sample and transition sample signals to generate DFE detected data and a DFE transition data. The DFE detected data and DFE transition data are then applied to a phase detector that generates a signal to adjust a phase of one or more of the data clock and transition clock. One or more of said phase updates are modified by the present invention if said DFE detected data satisfies one or more predefined conditions. A number of mechanisms are disclosed for qualifying or modifying the DFE phase detector updates based on the detected data pattern.

    摘要: Described embodiments receive a signal by a set of fixed taps and a set of floating taps of a receiver, each tap corresponding to a detected symbol. Each of the floating taps is stored in a corresponding shift register to account for process, operating voltage and temperature (PVT) variations of the receiver without calibration of delay elements. Multiplexing logic selects (i) corresponding floating taps for equalization by coupling selected floating taps to the outputs of the fixed taps, and (ii) different phases of each possible floating tap position. The multiplexing logic prunes and/or amalgamates the phases of each possible floating tap position and selects floating taps based on a magnitude of each phase. A combiner adjusts each output value of the fixed taps and the selected floating taps by a corresponding tap-weight, combines the adjusted values into an output signal and subtracts the output signal from the input signal.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for improving the performance of second order CDR systems. The integral state of the CDR system is initialized to a value that is based on an expected frequency profile that may be known a priori for certain applications. One or more quality of lock (QOL) metrics are also monitored that are derived from the integral register state value. A quality of a locking between a received signal and a local clock generated by a Clock and Data Recovery (CDR) system is evaluated by monitoring a state value of an integral register in a digital loop filter of the CDR system; evaluating one or more predefined criteria based on the integral register state value; and identifying a poor lock condition if the one or more predefined criteria are not satisfied.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for equalizing a received signal. A received signal is equalized by updating one or more equalization parameters; and discarding the updated equalization parameters if one or more predefined qualifier conditions are detected during the equalizing step. The received signal can optionally be equalized using the updated equalization parameters if the predefined qualifier conditions are not detected during the equalizing step. The updated equalization parameters can optionally be stored if the one or more predefined qualifier conditions are not detected during the equalizing step.
